Body

Our classmate Frank died June 16, 2013, in Ocala, Fla.

Before launching his career in the banking business, “in the non-financial end,” as he put it, Frank served in the Navy aboard a minesweeper in both Europe and North Africa. His business career involved working for American Express and County Trust Co. (now the Bank of New York).

Frank came to us from White Plains (N.Y.) High School. At Princeton, he majored in history and was a member of the band. He was a member and officer of Elm Club.

His survivors include his longtime companion, Dorothy Beeks; his daughters, Barbara Ori, Deborah Parente, Marion Magnero, and Leslie Hutton; and eight grandchildren.
